Swimming struggles

I went to sign up for lap swim at Sand Hollow Aquatic Center. Times are advertised at 5:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

I wanted to swim after 5 p.m. High school swims from 3-5 pm. Swim club swims 5-7 p.m. I cannot swim there. They exclusively swim in all lanes. One guy at the center suggested I swim in the kiddie section. I am 6-feet-5 inches tall and weigh 300 pounds. That ain’t going to work.

Early hours are for taking kids to school and me to work. This is a taxpayer-paid-for facility. It is a shame a taxpayer cannot swim there. My solution: Open up three lanes for the public.

I was treated poorly when I went by and later called. Something needs to be done. Not fair that the public does not have access contrary to advertised times.
